Ok. I'm new to Miatas (well, got it in January)
I'm new to the group.
Question:
Does anyone else downshift in tunnels and drive in parking garages in first

I'm going to have to park on the street in SF with my new Miata. Any

I've thought of a car bra, but I only really want it for parking and I

Anyone know the difference between red and blue cover 90-97 Haynes manuals?
I do NOT need to know how superior the Enthusiast's manual is.
Thanks. -Phil

What is the difference between the Blue and the Red cover 90-97 Haynes
manuals?  Is one foreign?

So I've decided to take out the dashboard out of the '90 to fix the heater
core since the carpet has to come out now that it's saturated. As usual, one
stupid thing is holding me up, so I shall ask any of you for help:
There are two wires that connect to the heater blower. This ...

I am helping a friend look for a used miata. We have found one, the
price is right for her, the only thing that I have noticed is that one

a rock or more likely by being jacked up by a scissor jack at the ...

Before someone says RTFM, let me just say..
I DID!
Okay, Just so I know the status of everything, I want to go ahead and change
the oil in the trans, and the rear end on my recently purchased 97 M model.

My recently acquired 1990 MX5 oil gauge seems to have a mind of it's own!
Sometimes it's pinned right over, most times it bounces around from full
scale or some where in the middle it bounces up and down about 25% above and
below the centre mark. I'm not really worried but..... is ...

My '99 Miata radio power/volume push button is not working as well as it
used to.
It feels like the spring that gives the button a distinct in/out feel when
you push it is broken.

I've a 99 miata with a leaky slave cylinder.
The problem's not to bad, but I need to keep an eye on the reserve.  I plan
on fixing it shortly - with you help.
I have three options:
